I've said this once and I'll say it again...Misfires aside, this chassis is terrible at power levels above the mid 400's. You get terrible suspension, drivetrain, transmission issues and reliability issues past that level. We will not see a consistent 10 second 335i full street car ever... The fact that Shiv is the only one that has done 10's with essentially a drag setup is further proof... I wish the best of luck to all ST owners.

All of the things you said, you can upgrade, and still be cheaper then a comparable M3

Who is talking about an M3?? M3's and 335i's are not competitors... the right thing to do is buy a completely different car that is built to handle this kind of power. Even if you want to get into the details; a new 335is will run you 55K, another 12 for the ST, and another 5 for the supporting mods... so you wouldn't be far off with an M3 anyways but I don't think an M3 is right for those power levels either.

You might be right, but it's always more fun to make a car fast that isn't supposed to be fast.

The N54 may not be great strip car but it is a fantastic street/highway roll car and that's where i do 100% of my driving and i love it.

Sure but above 130 MPH these cars run out of steam no matter how big your turbo... Shiv's 458 win is the only solid run I have ever seen. Any RB equipped car will get a train ran on it by a bolt on Z06... I guarantee this. Remember that race that was supposed to happen between Shiv and his boys Z06? Yeah...

That's a pretty bold statement which I will try to prove wrong in the not so immediate future.

I don't believe that is the case. Shiv(or anyone else for that matter) just hasn't had the balls to actually put a BIG turbo on an N54. A 6266 isn't exactly a big turbo in my book, i mean just look at the dyno graphs. The turbo is sized well for mid range torque and decent top end but it's definitely not a turbo for huge power.

I wish you the best of luck... I really want to see it. Key to point out is that I mean a C6 Z06 with exhaust, intake, headers and tune but run a stock one just for the hell of it too. Enrita could never outrun one with RB's; he was close but it ran away top end. Pretty funny the Z06 only had an intake.

Me too we'll see though. The funny thing is with the group of cars that I run with a bolton C6 ZO6 would be at the low end of the totem pole...so $#@!, where will I be LOL!

A car that claims to dyno 640 or 650 or whatever should be much faster. He claimed a 3250 lb race weight... s*it that thing should have gone way faster than a bare 130 MPH trap... I am not trying to hate I just don't think the chassis can perform. This is the way I see it; the autos will be inherently slow and the manuals will be too difficult to drive to have consistently strong results.

Once my car is running I can find out.

My brother has a stock C6 Z06 and a friend of mine has a C6 Z06 with Cam, headers, intake, I believe.

ok my question should have been: what is the biggest turbo runnnig on a 335 now 6262?

correct and it would be very difficult to fit anything larger. It would have been done if it fit, trust me. If you put the turbo in another location maybe it would be doable but a ton of work. The 6262 barely fits.
